    MP168 Matrix Switcher/Controller System SensorNet Communications With Release 3.0, the MP168 Control Code Module (CCM) supports SensorNet as well as RS-422 and AD Manchester communications. SensorNet is a two-wire communications protocol that provides improved data transmission speed, surge protection and noise immunity.

  • Page 78: Network Design Considerations

    APPENDIX C AWG 22 Twisted Pair Cable to SpeedDomes, DeltaDomes and SensorNet J- Six Position SensorNet Plug-in Connector Slot N for Control Network Design Considerations A SensorNet network consists of one or more network “links”. Each link includes a twisted pair cable, a SensorNet host (in this case, the MP168 Control Code Module resident in the MP168 bay), and 1 to 32 SensorNet devices (with the MP168 Matrix Switcher/Controller system, the devices supported are SpeedDomes, DeltaDomes or SensorNet J-Boxes).

  • Page 79: Network Topologies

    MP168 Matrix Switcher/Controller System APPENDIX C For maximum distance, attach the repeater J-Box at a point where the signal level has reached 1-2v (peak-to-peak). This takes advantage of the prior host’s driver capabilities, while providing a strong signal for amplification. No more than 3 repeaters should be used in series between any two network devices, as this can create signal distortion, and cause operational errors.

  • Page 80: Backbone Link Guidelines

    MP168 Matrix Switcher/Controller System APPENDIX C Backbone Link Guidelines In a backbone network, a single continuous cable connects all devices served by the link. The unbroken cable allows you to install a permanent network that maintains a high level of reliability, even when you must attach, disconnect, or move a device.

  • Page 81: Star Link Guidelines

    MP168 Matrix Switcher/Controller System Star Link Guidelines With a star network link, up to four branches connect to a central “hub” location. Devices can attach with a single continuous cable (backbone style) or separate cables (daisy chain style). A star topology is a good solution when using existing cable. It also allows easy reconfiguration as devices are added or relocated.
